EMERGENCY - CONGRESS POISED TO RUSH THROUGH SWEEPING IMMUNITY
FOR POSSIBLY UNSAFE VACCINES AND OTHER DRUGS –
AMERICANS LIKELY TO BECOME HUMAN GUINEA PIGS
Biodefense Bill
From the National Autism Association
Now, more than ever, we must fight for our children.
Parents, grandparents and loved ones: We need your help. Please take a few
minutes from your day to join us in calling and sending faxes! We need to
send the message: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING AWAY OUR CHILDREN'S CIVIL
RIGHTS!
Parents, we know you are busy. But liability protections to pharmaceutical
companies are coming toward us from all angles. Please call and fax ASAP!
Faxes and phone calls are very important and tie up their regular lines.
Let them know we are watching out for our children! In The Name Of
Bioterrorism, Congress Again Plans to Extend Liability Protection To
Vaccine Manufacturers, Abandoning America's Vaccine-Injured Children. Here
are the three main areas we are fighting:
* The President's Liability Protection Legislation: Six of the vilest,
rights-trampling pages you'll ever read including NO lawsuits, NO judicial
reviews, NO discovery.
* In the Senate: S 1873, (Sen. Burr) "Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine
and Drug Development Act of 2005".
* In the House: The Companion bill to the Senate Version, HR3970,
(Cong. Issa)- Bioterror and Pandemic Preparedness Protection Act. Points
you can make:
o Drug companies have suppressed safety data and poisoned a
generation of children with mercury-laced vaccines.
o If passed, vaccine makers will have even more incentive to
ignore product safety. The reckless disregard for injuries to Americans
through dangerous products created by drug manufacturers must not be
further sanctioned and encouraged by our lawmakers.
Capitalizing on fear and intimidation, and the reminder of generous
campaign donations, drug companies have seduced Congress into awarding the
pharmaceutical industry unprecedented liability protection, removing any
financial incentive to produce safe vaccines.
The Biodefense/Pandemic Infuenza Bills, influenced by drug industry
lobbyists, abandons the children and citizens of this country and rewards a
pattern of bad behavior by an industry recognized for suppressing safety
data on vaccines.
A parent/advocate has been visiting with legislators this week on Capitol
Hill and summed up her visit with two important observations:
* 1) The pharmaceutical protection legislation has become a priority to
a greater degree than we've ever seen before. Using a shotgun approach, the
plan is that if just one of the several pieces of legislation with the
protection language gets through, Pharma is home free. Profit will trump
safety to an even greater degree than we've already seen, and our
children's rights will be nonexistent.
* 2) Many Senators and Members of Congress expressed that they are not
hearing from their constituents about this legislation at all. Some
specifically said we must speak louder if we are to be heard.
LET'S MAKE SURE THEY HEAR US LOUD AND CLEAR THIS TIME!
Please also enlist your spouse, in-laws, neighbors, friends, and anyone
else you can think of to help with calling and faxing. We need these
legislators to hear from as many of us as possible NOW.
What you can do TODAY: Please call and fax the members of the Senate Health
Committee, Congressional friends to the community and Congressional Reps
that could swing our way on this important legislation. Let them know you
and your family oppose rewarding the companies responsible for injuring
countless children through unsafe vaccines.
Your communications with the HELP Committee members need not be long or
detailed, especially since time is of the essence. Just let them know you
are the parent, caregiver, or friend of a vaccine-injured child, and that
the language in all the liability protection legislation currently on the
table protects the pharmaceutical industry for the results of lax,
profit-driven safety standards. Further removal of accountability to this
industry is detrimental to public health and unacceptable. Below is a
letter you can use if you want to cut and paste.
Dear (Your Congressman or Your Senator);
Say NO to Ripping Off The Rights of Vaccine-Injured Children, And NO to
Rewarding the Very Industry That Injured Them! As both a voter and
caregiver of a vaccine-injured child, I feel very strongly that my child's
rights are about to be jeopardized once again.
I ask you to pledge to put the interests of America's children and families
before that of drug companies, and remind you that the public is watching.
Just like the Homeland Security Rider, the Biodefense Bill and other bills
implementing liability protection will be seen for what they are -- gifts
to the pharmaceutical industry in exchange for campaign contributions. This
type of corruption must not be allowed to further hurt the innocent
children already damaged by unsafe pharmaceuticals.
As a voter, I am asking you to take a firm stand against legislation that
will remove my vaccine-injured child's rights to fair litigation, and to
send a resounding NO to allowing drug companies even more incentive to put
profit before safety.
Thousands of families of special-needs children are going bankrupt, and
many are selling their homes just to pay for care that insurance does not
cover. More over, lawsuits give our children the voice that was taken away.
The right to have fair litigation. The right to have compensation for care.
Please do not support anything that allows pharmaceutical companies more
favors than your constituents--especially those that cannot speak for
themselves. If you do, parents, grandparents, and caregivers from around
the country will make sure that every reporter in your state knows what you
have done to your weakest constituents.
Sincerely,
(your name)
